This
disgraceful incident which took place on Tuesday, has been reported
from Landaura, which
lies 8 km from Roorkee
in Haridwar district.

According
to the local police, after scoring poor marks in an exam of English
subject, the accused teacher decided to humiliate those girls (both
girls of class-VI) in the classroom. In
an extreme step of public
shaming of
the girls,
the teacher allegedly
took
off their shirts in front of the entire class as punishment.

"Parents
of both girls alleged that the teacher first reprimanded their
daughters and then took off their shirts in front of the entire class
as they had performed poorly in an English test. When the girls
reported the incident to their parents, they went to the school and
protested against the teacher," Manikant Mishra, Superintendent
of police said.

On
the other hand, parent of one of the students said, "We demand
strict action against the school administration for not installing
CCTVs in classes and not terminating the teacher for her behaviour."

However,
the
Principal
of JP Inter College, Amita Rathore has refuted the allegations of the
victim girls terming their charges as baseless and said that nothing
such happened in the school. She
also added that their allegations are just a conspiracy to defame the
image of the
school, as per the media report.

Meanwhile,
district
education officer (basic), Braham Pal Singh Saini has sought a report
from the deputy education officer demanding to take strict action
against the accused teacher and school administration in this matter.
